To Tweet Or Not To Tweet - NYTimes.com

Columnist Maureen Dowd has “HAD IT UP TO HERE” with twitter. Here are some highlights for the ADD-inclined:

• I was here on a simple quest: curious to know if the inventors of Twitter were as annoying as their invention.
• Aren’t you worried about being swallowed up by google?” “they don’t swallow you up. they call you up.”
• I would rather be tied up to stakes in the Kalahari Desert, have honey poured over me and red ants eat out my eyes than open a Twitter account. Is there anything you can say to change my mind?

The interviewee’s (Twitter inventor Biz Stone) first response to her question is golden, howevs:

MAUREEN: We now know that on the president’s trip to Trinidad, ABC News’s Jake Tapper’s shower was spewing brown water. Is there any thought that doesn’t need to be published?



BIZ: The one I’m thinking right now.

I like to imagine him thinking, “you’re a dumb ho.” Apparently i’m not the only one, as someone wrote a spoof:
